Some evenings call for something sweet and cooling without hours in the kitchen. This quick mango sorbet is my answer when I want dessert but barely have time to make dinner.
You need just three everyday ingredients, and the whole thing comes together in minutes. The flavor is fresh, bright, and so relaxing after a long day.
Here’s what makes this recipe work.
Ingredients for Easy Mango Sorbet
– 4 heaping cups frozen mango (about two 10-oz bags)
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
How to Make Easy Mango Sorbet
Start with the frozen mango
Place your frozen mango into a food processor and pulse until you have small, fluffy shreds.
This is where it comes together.
Add the sweet and tangy flavors
Scrape down the sides, then add the maple syrup and lime juice right on top of your mango.
Blend until ultra-creamy
Process everything again scraping down the sides as needed. When you can barely see any mango chunks, leave the processor running for a minute for that extra-creamy finish.
Now it starts to smell amazing.
Serve and enjoy (or freeze for later)
Enjoy your sorbet immediately for soft-serve style! For a firmer, scoopable sorbet, transfer to a sealed container and freeze for 2–3 hours or until ready to serve. If frozen solid, thaw 10–15 minutes before scooping. This keeps in the freezer for up to 2 weeks which makes it perfect for meal prep.
Tips for Easy Mango Sorbet
Use ripe, sweet mango
The ripped, sweeter your mango, the brighter the taste especially with only three ingredients!
Tweak the sweetness
If you love a tarter treat, add a bit more lime. For extra sweetness, drizzle in a touch more maple syrup.
Make ahead for meal prep
This sorbet can be prepped ahead and kept in the freezer for easy, ready-to-go desserts anytime.
